LETTER FROM SHREWSBURY, PA.
SHREWSBURY, Pa, January 18th, Il

SHREWSBURY, Pa, January 18th, 1887.
Messrs. Editors On Tuesday evening, the 18th
inst, sleighing party of ten couple from Bati.
more and Hartford counties, Nd, headed by JAS
R. Davis and H. Wilmer Almony, arrived at the
hotel of Mr.. Joseph Raffensperger, in this place.
They brought with them two pieces of string
music, Messrs. Mitchell and Jones. of Hartford
county. Four couple from the town Joined the
party. After partaking of grand supper, pre-
pared by the family of Mr.. Raffensperger under
his supervision, the large dining-room was
cleared and the party invited from the parlor to
the room for the evenings enjoyment. The call
for partners was promptly responded to and the
enjoyment of the evening commenced and was
kept up until midnight, when the delighted party
departed for their homes we'll pleased with their
visit to Shrewsbury. This was the most respect
able and dignifed party that has visited this place
on pleasure trip for great many years, and we
would state that we will be pleased to see them in
Shrewsbury at any time
Well, the agony is over. 1t is Gov. Beaver now.
The whole State government is now in the hands
of the Republican party. The Legislature now
in session has also elected Republican Senator
to succeed Mr.. Mitchell, SO that politics will drop
out for awhile. The doings of the Legislature
will be watched with great interest, as some i'm
portant legislation is contemplated.
There are a great many deaths occurring at
present, some of which are very sudden, and most
ly among elderly people. There is not much sick
ness among children reported.
Our beef cattle are nearly ready for Market
They are reported in fine condition. The tobacco
crop is also about ready for market and in fine
condition.
The sleighing has been spoiled and the recent
very cold weather has made travelling very dan
gerous for man and beast. Consequently there is
not much hauling other than must necessarily be
done.
The revival now in progress in the Evangelical
Church, at this place, is progressing favoraby.-
As many as dozen persons are at the altar for
prayer every night. The meeting is in charge of
Revs. Douty and Gallagher, and the prospects are
that the meeting will continue for some time and
increase in interest as it progresses. X.

@>Senator Stanford, of California, is worth
fifty millions, and Senator Hearst, of the same
State, is worth forty millions. Craftsmanship out
there are spelled statesmanship.-Ercha"gs.
Yes, and it's getting to be spelled the same way
in good many other states as well as in Cali
fornia. The list Of millionares in the Senate is
constantly growing and there will be more of then
next year than ever before. The mere fact of q
man being worth dozen or more millions OF
course should not exclude him from the Senate,
but on the other hand man who is poor, if he
has the proper qualifications, should have as good
q show to get there as the man who counts his
wealth with six or seven oiphers, with one or a
five before them.

g- There is a tie in the Legislature of Indiana
and the Republicans, as matters now stand, hav-
ing elected the Lieutenant Governor, have the
advantage as he has the deciding vote. The
question as to the election of some of the mem
bers has been carried into the courts and until
their right to seats has been udicially determined
the contest over the United States Senatorship
cannot be definitely settled. The Democratic
caucus has nominated Judge Turpie for Senator,
having thrown over ex-senator Mcdonald, while
the Republican candidate is Gen. Ben Harrison.
Judge Holman, Democratic Congressman from
Indiana, who was also candidate for Senator,
says the Republicans undoubtedly have the law
on their side and that they will finally elect their

@-We publish in full in to-day issue the re-
port of the late Grand Jury, document that will
excite more than usual interest. This report goes
altogether outside of the beaten track and treats
of some subjects that no Grand Jury has ever
heretofore assayed to handle, and it cannot be
denied that the paper is an able and exhaustive
document and one that will meet with more or
less approval. 1t may be contended that the Jury
has somewhat exceeded its authority in this re-
spect-that it has meddled with subjects that we're
in no way germane to its powers-but be this as
it may the fact remains that it devotes attention
to some matters in which the people generally
feel deep interest, and we earnestly hope that its
suggestions and recommendations may have in
fuence for good.

Legislature on Wednesday nominated Hon. Frank
Hiscock for U. S. Senator, over Hon. Warner Mil
Ter, the present Senator by vote of As to As, the
result having been reached on the eighteenth bal.
lot. Hon. L. P. Morton was Mr.. Miller's princi
pal opponent and when it was found that enough
votes could not be secured to pull him through
his strength went to Mr.. Hiscock and nominated
him. The new Senator was first elected to Con-
gress in 1873 and has served continuously since
having also been elected to the Fiftieth Congress
He is about 6fty-three years of age and is ,
lawyer by profession. He is a very popular man

have appeared in The UNION for some time, ends
with the present ISSUE These letters were written
by young lady who made her first visit to Europe
last summer, and who wrote for the press be-
fore. They compare favorably with any letters
upon the subject that we have read, and it is a
little remarkable that they were written entirely
from memory, their author having taken no notes
durinO her tour.

M@ New York society is evidently not so bad
rs it has been painted. 1t has several hundred
debutantes who are worth over 100000 each in
their own right-Balt,more American.
Now, here is q chance for some Of the unmar-
ried country editors of Maryland, many of whom
are handsome and SO perfectly irresistible that
they have to carry stuffed clubs to keep the girls off
But then we don't know what country editor
would want with 100000. He wouldn't have time
to take care of it, and if he had it no one would pay
him . cent for anything he did. The result of
this would be that the country editor thus "heeled"
would be in the almshouss inside of year. Bet
ter let well enough alone and keep out of the way
of the debutantes. They are dangerous under any
circumstances.

in Baltimore last week, will put up Judge John
